Equations and Inequalities Question Decide whether the statement is true or false. (|-14|)/(|2|)=|(-14)/(2)|
Added by Aaron A.
Step 1
- The absolute value of \(-14\) is \(14\), so \(|-14| = 14\). - The absolute value of \(2\) is \(2\), so \(|2| = 2\). - Now, substitute these values into the left side: \[ \frac{| -14 |}{| 2 |} = \frac{14}{2} = 7. \] Show more…
